Per Jeremy Fowler:

I’m sure it’s much less than $8 million, and not a guarantee he even makes the team. Would’ve rather had Damien.

 

[signbabybrady]

Who?

I mean seriously we out here signing Jim Bob

 

[Joey007]

Interesting. Didn’t do anything for the Jets, but he was very damn solid for the Jags.

Seems very similar to Rhamondre. Bigger back with a sneaky good ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

 

[Joey007]

Who?

Had 1000 yards for the Jags in 2020 fwiw

does this mean bb thinks k Harris and strong are busts?

No, it means Damien Harris is gone.

 

[hornetfb85]

Like it. Career looks pretty much identical to DH, just 1.5 years younger. And he’s played for some AWFUL teams.

 

[Ross12]

This is a good signing. Solid player. Imagine it’s $8M if he hits a bunch of incentives he won’t actually hit.

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

Why?

I don't understand this move at all. They have depth at RB go and figure out WR

 

[PowerRunRevival]

Robinson was really good for the jags until he tore his Achilles. He came back sooner than expected last season and didn’t look the same. A year removed with a full offseason to train and he could be a huge steal at low money.

Also put up solid receiver numbers his first two years.

 

[hornetfb85]

Has played 10 more careergames than Rham and is a half year younger.

 

[JMC00]

Really like this move. It's not a big flashy #1 WR move it's a move that you'll likely say mid-way thru the season, that it was a good signing.

He was having a decent year but lost touches to Etienne, then got traded to the jest and they for some reason didn't play him because they are idiots

had a 1400 combine yards season 2 years ago

 

[Toofy]

Solid pickup. Check his stats with jags phenomenal . Last 2 years he has been injured and it shows in stats . Which means there is less tread on his legs . So if we even get a cumulative single season from him for 2-3 million it would be worthwhile.

I like the pats strategy this year of providing decent total contract value but tying a huge amount to performance and escalators similar to what chiefs did with JuJu.

If we do similar contract, this off-season could look drastically different than what we did in 2021. Since we have enough cap space for next year . Can try to load contracts this way and If performance is commensurate we emerge as value buy winners.

What proven depth? After Rham is nothing but questions.

 

[Zuma]

He had an impressive rookie 2020 season. Can catch the ball well (82% catch rate) with 344 yards.

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

Does this mean Strong is locked in the rb/slot wr role?

 

[Easywolf32]

Awesome pick up, James Robinson will make a fine patriot.

He’s the guy Urban Meyer wouldn’t give playing time to until Trevor Lawrence publicly spoke out for him, right?
